Abstract Dacron suture loops were demonstrated to be inert, consistent carriers in the presence of peracetic acid-based sterilants, whereas black silk sutures had a variable preparation process and interacted with peracetic acid. In addition, Dacron suture loops provided comparable spore loading to black silk suture loops and an HCl resistance of ≥2 min. These results indicate that black silk suture loops are not appropriate carriers for assessing peracetic acid-based sterilants, and Dacron loops are an acceptable alternative. This finding is consistent with the Office of Science and Technology Laboratory (Center for Devices and Radiological Health) study which determined that “polyester suture material is a viable alternative to silk for the AOAC sporicidal test for liquid disinfectants.”

Abstract Background: Techniques used to suture the rectus muscle to the implant can influence the implant-related complications which is still a major problem following retinoblastoma enucleation. The goals of this work were to report the efficacy among patients with retinoblastoma who underwent enucleation followed by porous implant placement with the rectus muscles sutured with 5-0 polyester suture.Methods: This was a retrospective study of consecutive patients with retinoblastoma who underwent primary enucleation and porous implant placement with the rectus muscles tagged and sutured to the implant with polyester 5-0 suture. All the patients were followed up for a minimum of 2 years. The main outcome measure was implant exposure. The secondary efficacy measures were other implant-related complications.Results: A total of 120 patients (120 eyes) underwent primary enucleation and porous implant placement were included. Postoperatively, 10/120 (8.3%) eyes developed exposure and conjunctival granuloma. Exposure was the most common postoperative complication (7/10, 70.0%). There were no cases of implant extrusion, migration, or infection.Conclusions:Polyester 5-0 sutures are successful in patients with retinoblastoma who underwent enucleation followed by porous implant placement. Complications are minimal. Polyester 5-0 sutures were not associated with unacceptable complications in this pediatric population.

We have used a modification of the Blom-Singer technique in our last 24 tracheoesophageal punctures, performed on 20 patients. At the time of puncture a surgical stent with an indwelling Dacron polyester suture is placed to form the fistula. Forty-eight to 72 hours later the stent is backed out of the puncture site but the suture is allowed to remain. The Blom-Singer duckbill prosthesis is fitted and taped in the routine fashion. The suture is left to traverse the tracheoesophageal tract until the time of discharge, when it is removed. At discharge the patient is given a Silastic dilator, to be used if the puncture site becomes too small to allow for insertion of the duckbill prosthesis. Seventeen of the 20 patients in this group obtained good voice. Six operations would have been failures because of the loss of the patient's prosthesis in the immediate postoperative period if the modified technique had not been used.

This study compared the biomechanical behaviour of repairs in the human flexor digitorum profundus tendon in zones I, II and III with repairs of different segments of the porcine flexor tendon of the second digit and the extensor digiti quarti proprius tendon, in order to assess the validity of porcine tendons as models for human flexor tendon repairs. These porcine tendons were selected after comparing their size with the human flexor digitorum profundus tendon. The tendon repairs were done in three segments of each porcine tendon and repairs in the human tendons were done in zones I,II and III. Ten tendons in each group yielded a total of 90 specimens. A modified Kessler repair was done with 3-0 coated braided polyester suture and subjected to uniaxial tensile testing. In human flexor tendons, the ultimate force was higher in zones I and II than in zone III. The porcine flexor digitorum profundus tendon from the second digit and the proximal segment of the extensor digiti quarti proprius tendon behaved similarly to the human flexor tendon in zone III and can be considered as surrogates for the human flexor tendon.
